£50,000 is up for grabs for community schemes in North Cheam and Worcester Park.

At a meeting at 11am on May 11, at Cheam High School, Chatsworth Road, Cheam, attendees can vote for their favourite projects.

Councillor Adrian Davey, chairman of Sutton Council's Cheam North and Worcester Park Local Committee, said: "This is an excellent opportunity to hear about some of the really exciting projects that have come from people in the community and which could transform our area in the coming years."

Maximum funding for each scheme is £5,000, with 15 in competition.

The first round of voting will throw up one winner and then that sum will be deducted from the pot and the next round will provide a second winner and so on until the whole £50,000 has been allocated.

Among the successful projects last year were the Worcester Park Guides who were given £5,000 towards a minibus, North Cheam Traders, awarded £5,000 for Jubilee celebrations, and the Friends of Worcester Park who spent £5,000 on a pop-up shop.
